What Might Have Been FrfghtfuI
Accident ON the Boston q Maine.
There was narrow escape, on the 18th
inst, from frightful accident on the west
ern division of the Boston & Maine, west OF
Biddeford. The Boston bound morning train
had orders to cross two excursion trains, one
at North Berwick, the other at Maryland
ridge The former crossing was effected ac-
cording to the orders, but the engineer for
got the second train, and as result the ex-
press and excursion trains soon found them
selves facing each other on the same track.
Fortunately it was on straight piece of
road, and the trains sighted each other in
time to stop before they came together. Had
the meeting taken place on curve, the re-
suit would have been too awful for contem-
plation, as the excursion train was literally
packed with humanity. The engineer of the
express has been suspended.

hours. That will be at the rate of between
60 and 40 miles an hour We shall put off in
this upon the theories of Jules Verne We
intend to start with two tons and a half of
ballast. Allowing for use of quarter of a
hundredweight an hour, we should have a
large surplus in ease of emergencies. We
could stay aloft four days. We do not in
tend to make a high ascent We shall prob
ably make the passage at height of from 500
to 900 yards above the sea. 1t is impossible
to say when we shall start. We may have to
wait until December or even January for the
atmospheric disturbance which may be
expected to cross the Atlantic and pass along
